Once I was
Once I was a soldier
And I fought on foreign sands for you
Once I was a hunter
And I brought home fresh meat for you
Once I was a lover
And I searched behind your eyes for you
And soon there'll be another
To tell you I was just a lie
And sometimes I wonder just for a while
Will you ever remember me
And though you have forgotten
All of our rubbish dreams
I find myself searching
Through the ashes of our ruins
For the days when we smiled
And the hours that ran wild
With the magic of our eyes
And the silence of our words
And sometimes I wonder just for a while
Will you ever remember me
Ever remember me
-lyrics Tim Buckley
Bruce...for those five long years in the coma did you relive your sweetest memories and darkest days before the long, painful goodbye? I hope you knew that you were and are always remembered and loved.

Final Mission of SP4 Fredric B. Davis
SP4 Fredric B. Davis was an Army paratrooper with A Company, 1st Battalion, 505th Infantry, 3rd Brigade, 82nd Airborne Division. He was severely wounded in action by rocket fire during a battle in the vicinity of Hue on March 26, 1968, where he lapsed into a coma. He remained comatose for nearly six years until his death at age 25 on January 14, 1973, at the Veterans Administration Hospital in Palo Alto, CA. His injuries from 1968 were the second time he had been wounded. In July of 1965, he was hit by shrapnel which required hospitalization in Japan, followed by a period of stateside duty. He later returned to Vietnam when he was injured a second time, suffering a concussion and fragmentation wounds all over his body. Shrapnel entered his lungs and the bleeding blocked his breath canal, causing unconsciousness from which he never recovered.
